IMPORTANT: When you install your appliance it is important to bear in mind its climatic rating. In order to find out the climatic rating of your appliance, you should check the rating plate. The rating plate is located inside of the fridge section. You will need to open the door of your appliance to be able to find it. The rating plate will indicate the ambient temperature range that your appliance will function correctly within.
The fridge section o We recommend that you leave storage space between food items, to allow for good air circulation. o The temperatures in the fresh food compartment are slightly warmer towards the top and cooler towards the base.
Adjustable safety glass shelves o The shelves may be placed in any of the guide slots within the interior of the appliance. They are protected from sliding out. o To remove a shelf: Take off all of the items that are stored on the shelf that you want to remove. Then whilst lifting the front of the shelf, pull it forwards to unhook it from the slots at the rear of the cabinet.
Crisper drawers The crisper drawers are designed to store fruit, vegetables or meat. The temperature inside of them can be adjusted to one that is suitable for the food items being stored. o To increase the humidity in the crisper drawer, turn the dial that is located on the right hand side of the crisper drawer. o When the dial is moved towards “Hi”, the humidity level is increased.
o For the storage of meat and fish, we would recommend that they are stored in a foil cover or a vinyl wrap. o Care should be taken when storing tropical fruit (bananas and pineapples etc) and tomatoes. As these types of items can easily deteriorate in a lower temperature. Full width pantry The temperature in the full width pantry can be adjusted, depending on the type of food that you are storing in it. o To control the temperature in the full width pantry, use the airregulator dial on the top of it.
o IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT THAT NONE OF THE SHELVES THAT SIT IN THE DOOR ARE OVERLOADED, AS THIS WILL DRASTICALLY REDUCE THEIR WORKING LIFE. General and bottle shelf height adjustment It is possible to adjust the height of the general shelves and bottle shelves in the doors. o Remove all items from the shelf that you want to adjust the height of. o Hold both sides of the shelf then lift it upwards and pull it towards you.
The freezer section The freezer section consists of an upper and lower drawer. o The lower freezer drawer is suitable for freezing and storing food that needs to be kept for longer periods of time. o The upper freezer drawer contains the ice maker tray on the left hand side. o The right hand side of the upper freezer drawer can be used to freeze food, to store ice or to store food that you use regularly. o IMPORTANT: DO NOT pull the drawers out with too much force, or overload them.
Using your Baumatic fridge freezer Before switching on o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified person, as per the information contained in Baumatic’s installation instructions. o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the appliance to your mains supply. This means that any refrigerant gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation process are allowed to settle.
The control panel The control panel is located at the top of the fridge freezer, behind the doors to the fridge section. A= B= C= D= E= F= G= H= Express freeze button Freezer temperature adjustment buttons Freezer temperature display Fridge temperature display Fridge temperature adjustment buttons Express chill button Water filter reset button Water filter change neon Switching on the appliance o You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply.
o The fridge temperature display will show the temperature being currently achieved in the fridge section. o If there is a power cut, then the fridge freezer will remember the temperature settings that had been previously set. Setting the temperature in the freezer section It is possible to set a temperature between -13°C and -19°C in the freezer section. o Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to set the temperature that you require in the freezer section.
Express chill mode This setting should be used if you want to chill something quickly, it will ensure that a powerful supply of cold air enters the fridge section. o Press the express chill button and the indicator neon will illuminate. This confirms that express chill mode has been activated. o Express chill mode will continue to run until the desired temperature has been reached. o Once the desired temperature has been reached, express chill mode will switch itself off automatically.

To do this, press the express freeze button again. o The indicator neon will go out, confirming that the appliance is no longer in express freeze mode. The water filter change neon o If the water filter change neon comes on, then this means that the water filter needs to be changed. o Please refer to the “Changing the water filter” section on pages 33 - 34. o Once the water filter has been changed, press the water filter reset button.
o Make sure that you arrange food in such a way that the door can close completely. Particular attention should be given to bottles that may protrude when placed on shelves inside the main section of the refrigerator. o Some organic solutions, such as the oils in lemon/orange peel and acid in butter, can cause damage to the plastic parts contained inside of the refrigerator.
The **** freezer section The freezer section is suitable for storing and freezing food. o The freezer section temperature must have already reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food. o The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food (in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is 10 kg.
o After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen. Tips on freezing o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in. o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings. o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this will help the food to freeze more easily. o Flat packages freeze more easily.
o Take care that your frozen food packages do not start to thaw before you place them in your freezer. This will shorten the length of time that you can safely store the food for. Defrosting frozen food o Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. o Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy the micro organisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.
